Detailed Description

Developed by Lockheed's iconic Skunk Works division in the 1960s, the SR-71 Blackbird holds the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft. The SR-71A flown by Lt. Col. Raymond E. "Ed" Yeilding and Lt. Col. Joseph T. "JT" Vida on March 6, 1990 — the aircraft's final U.S. military flight — traveled from L.A. to Washington D.C. in just 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds.

Part of the exciting new Smithsonian Series from Air Force 1, this 1/200 scale, die cast model is a replica of Yielding and Vida's Blackbird as it appeared on that fateful day and features a realistic sleek design, finely reproduced conical spikes, authentic markings, and a metal display base. Measures approximately 6½" long with a 3¼" wingspan.
